Our Team
The vision of the Center for Advancing Dyadic Care in Pediatrics was developed over a multi-year process that integrated the wisdom and vision of a number of partners and organizations, including: families with young children, healthcare providers within UCSF, San Francisco Department of Public Health, Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center, the California Children's Trust, HealthySteps at ZERO TO THREE, the FIRST 5 Center for Children's Policy, FIRST 5 Santa Clara County, FIRST 5 San Francisco, California Department of Health Care Services, the UCSF Center for Child and Community Health, and Project CLIMB at Children's Hospital Colorado. The Center for Advancing Dyadic Care in Pediatrics and its associated projects are generously funded with support from the Stupski Foundation, the FIRST 5 Center for Children's Policy, FIRST 5 Santa Clara, ZERO TO THREE, and the California Primary Care Association.
Our services are grounded in the provision of public, dyadic early childhood integrated behavioral health services at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital in partnership with the UCSF at ZSFG Departments of Psychiatry and Pediatrics and in collaboration with the San Francisco Department of Public Health.
Our teams represent an integration of staff dedicated to providing training and technical assistance to support the implementation and uptake of dyadic services in California, and also the clinical HealthySteps team at ZSFG where our clinical practices are developed and inform our approach to training and technical assistance.
Center for Advancing Dyadic Care in Pediatrics Faculty and Staff
Our core technical assistance faculty and staff provide a range of services to support the implementation and uptake of the dyadic services benefit in order to promote access to family-centered, early behavioral health promotion and prevention services as part of pediatric care.
HealthySteps Team at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital Children’s Health Center
Our team of faculty and staff clinicians, administrative staff, and psychology interns and fellows provide dyadic, early childhood integrated behavioral health services using the HealthySteps model at the ZSFG Children's Health Center, a Federally Qualified Health Center in the San Francisco Health Network.
Pediatric Psychology Training Program
We are committed to growing a culturally and linguistically diverse workforce that is representative of the communities we serve and who can become clinicians and leaders in the efforts to scale dyadic, early childhood integrated behavioral health services. Our pediatric psychology training program is a collaboration with the APA Accredited, Multicultural Psychology Training Program at the UCSF at ZSFG Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences' Division of Infant, Child, and Adolescent Psychiatry. The program is generously sponsored in part by the Wechsler Jacques Family Integrated Behavioral Health Fund and the Stupski Foundation.
